“Here is the ancient floor,
Footworn and hollowed and thin
Here was the former door
Where the dead feet walked in.”

“When you get out on one of those lakes in a canoe like this, you do not forget that you are completely at the mercy of the wind, and a fickle power it is. The playful waves may at any time become too rude for you in their sport, and play right over you.”
